If You Could Save Money, Improve Productivity and Boost Employee Morale, Would You?
Of course you would.
Many companies all over the world have achieved these goals focusing on long-term strategies for corporate success which include provisions for keeping healthy employees healthy and safe, improving the health status of all employees, and creating a company culture that supports, promotes and actively engages employees in achieving optimal health. Hiring and/or partnering with occupational and environmental health nurse is often key to their success and that’s where we can help.

Allen’s Occupational On-site Nursing Program has helped many employers realize positive bottom line results, reduce absenteeism, lower turnover rates, improve employee morale, increase productivity, and/or helped to create a positive brand image as a result of investing in employee health and safety.

Businesses continue to be affected by both the rising costs of employee health care benefits and direct work-related employee health and safety expenses. Approximately 50 percent of businesses’ profits go toward health care costs (e.g., chronic pulmonary disease, cardiovascular disease, cancer, etc.) related to personal behavioral and lifestyle choices vs. only 7 percent three decades ago.1 U.S. businesses spend $170 billion a year on costs associated with work related injuries and illnesses – expenditures that come straight out of company profits.2 Lost productivity from injuries and illnesses costs companies $60 billion each year.3

Businesses have found that focusing on short-term fixes for immediate health care needs is not the solution. A long-term strategy for corporate success must include provisions for keeping healthy employees healthy and safe, improving the health status of all employees, and creating a company culture that supports, promotes and actively engages employees in achieving optimal health.

An Occupational Health Nurse Can Improve Employee Health and Safety

The primary focus of occupational and environmental health nursing has been and continues to be the promotion and restoration of health, prevention of illness and injury, case management for cost-effective disability and workers compensation programs, and protection from occupational and environmental hazards. As business partners to the corporate enterprise and as health care professionals, occupational and environmental health nurses (OHN) are champions of investing in the health and safety of employee populations. OHNs want employees to come to work healthy and go home healthier.
